Stromal corneal pigmentations, right eye

This code signifies the presence of abnormal pigmentation within the corneal stroma of the right eye. This condition involves the deposition of pigment, which can originate from various sources, within the middle layer of the cornea.

Use this code when documentation specifies stromal corneal pigmentation affecting the right eye. This diagnosis is typically made during an ophthalmologic examination, often noted as a specific finding like a pigment line or diffuse stromal discoloration.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the stromal layer of the cornea and the right eye.
• Differentiate from other corneal pigmentations, such as those affecting the epithelium or endothelium.
• Consider co-reporting any underlying conditions causing the pigmentation, if known and documented.
